Chord Electronics TToby Amplifier

Chord Electronics TToby Amplifier 

Chord saw an astonishing level of success with the release of Hugo; their compact yet superlative-sounding DAC/headphone amplifier, which was designed for on-the-go use. Despite the key design factor being portability, the DAC chipset within the Hugo is said to rival many competitor models that are much larger in stature. We've had many customers purchase Hugos to replace the DAC in their static system, with essentially no intention to ever make use of the portability factor of the Hugo!  

Exactly a year after the release of the initial Hugo, Chord Electronic unveiled at CES2015 a brand new alternative dubbed 'Hugo TT', which features the same meticulous construction process as the original Hugo, while seeing upgrades to the technology within and increasing the number of connections. A remote control is included with the Hugo TT, and an alphanumeric LED display has been integrated, along with an asynchronous USB-B digital input. It's also larger in structure and has been designed to act as 'the desktop version of the Hugo'. 

Chord's latest release has been designed and engineered to match the finesse and dynamic superiority of the Hugo TT and comes in the form of a desktop amplifier, dubbed 'TToby'. When combined with the TToby, the Hugo TT acts as a is pre-amplifier and source. TToby utilises Chord Electronics specific proprietary amplifier technology and offers 130w per channel into 4 ohms. It also features both balanced and unbalanced connections, matching the rear of the Hugo TT.
